    I am so disappointed that so many of you wonderful people feel that this game is a total bust.

    I was kinda looking through the eyes of a new gamer which I am not.  Not having to deal with all the facets of a game, this gives one a chance to develop speed and not get so frustrated. The purchasing of upgrades could come at a different time.  If I were looking out just for those of us who are more seasoned, I would have written my review quite differently.  Maybe it would be a good idea to add to our reviews the group of members this will attract like seasoned vets or newbees.  What do you think?

    You're absolutely right that some games that are great for beginners are frustrating for experienced gamers, and vice versa. 

    I think it's always good to indicate in the review just why you felt the way you did.  If someone says "As someone new to the genre" or "As an experienced gamer," then that conveys a lot of information.

    We do try to go into detail in the Gamezebo long reviews about who might be a good audience for the game. (I wrote the one for this game, which you can see by clicking on the REVIEW tab just above the whitespace on this page.)

    But I think most people do realise that the user reviews primarily represent individual experience, so there is a lot of variation. That's part of what makes them so interesting!  Wink

    I am an experienced beta tester...I would not say that I was an experienced gamer in any catagory...there are new games developed all the time...some good...some bad...those that would claim to be an expert in this genre would be flat out not telling the truth, as no one is an expert at anything...you are always learning...my strong suite happens to be Mahjong...but I would not claim to be an expert at it...it just depends on the individual game!

    The only thing I did not like in this game, is the game control...with no option to change mouse settings...which would probably drive anyone new to this genre away...even though the game is very simple!

    I did like your review...you expressed what I was thinking when I played it...not a keeper for me...might be good for beginners...but then I would be worried about the game play issue...if they liked this one, I think they would have problems with the more advanced type of this genre...
